From our balcony, we have just seen one of the participating yachts on fire! Stream of black smoke coming from the middle of the lake and other yachts milling around but not approaching as obviously the heat must have been intense. Sirens heard from emergency services passing near our residence. Seems as though the yacht has sunk meanwhile. Hopefully the owners jumped overboard well in time!

Looks like they did (it was not a yacht though).

Perhaps please also note that the race is called the “Bol d’Or”.
Thanks.
